Misrepresentation Policy

To protect educational consumers, Franklin Pierce University attempts to provide online and print information about the institution that is accurate, honest and clear. The University makes efforts to avoid misrepresentation to its stake holders, prospective students, current students, faculty and staff, alumni, and our community, by informing employees of such policy and by providing transparent means of communication.

Franklin Pierce is prohibited by federal regulations (CFR title 34 sections 668.71-74) from making false or misleading statements or providing false or misleading documentation to consumers, to our accrediting bodies or to the US Department of Education (DOE). Franklin Pierce defines misrepresentation as any false or misleading communication made by the institution or one of its official representatives.

A misrepresentation may be a false or misleading statement about: Franklin Pierce University's programs, financial charges, graduation rates, or employability of graduates, made directly or indirectly to any person, the DOE, and/or an accrediting agency with the likelihood to deceive. This includes dissemination of a student testimony or endorsement made under duress or because the student was made, by the University, to make such an endorsement to participate.

Franklin Pierce views a substantial misrepresentation as any misrepresentation on which the person to whom it was made could reasonably be expected to rely, or has reasonably relied, to that person’s detriment.
